I do not really see the value of guidance here. These are stereotypes, even though they are likely to present typical cases. They neglect regional differences, different working styles, national marketing, different company sizes, different philosophies, and project-based work, to name just a few. Thus: nice as drawing, but probably meaningless if you face a major job decision.

Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar... And the joke unfolds with the typical stereotypes that most people with a sense of humour find funny. The difference, you don't ask, "which bar?", "where?" or "what were they drinking"

Funny? Being amusing only is a side task here. The post description announces this as a kind of quick-decision guideline. I think if punnyness or funnyness would be the main goal of the series, it would exxagerate much more and even play with the stereotypes.
